Percent Yield & Limiting/Excess Reactants

The ______________ yield is the maximum amount of product possible in a reaction. This determines the amount of product that should be produced in a perfect setting

• Percent
• actual
• stoichiometry
• theoretical

When reacting Na with Cl₂, we calculated that the theoretical yield should be 13 grams. Our actual yield was 12.5 grams. What is the percent yield?

• 90.4%

• 104%

• 96.15%

• 1.04%

Theoretical yield = 73g
Actual yield = 62g
Calculate the percent yield.

LiOH + KCl → LiCl + KOH

b) I actually produced 6 grams of lithium chloride and I began this reaction with 20.0 grams of lithium hydroxide. What is my percent yield?

• 16.9%

• 5.91%

• 1.88%

• 12.3%

In a lab, a scientist calculate he should produce 12.3 grams of product in his experiment. When he is finished collecting his product it weighs 10.1 grams. What is his percent yield?

• 82%
• 0.82%
• 10.1 %
• 100%

The limiting reactant

• slows the reaction down
• is used up first
• is the reactant that is left over
• controls the speed of the reaction

When does a chemical reaction stop?

• When the lab is finished
• When the excess reactant is used up
• When the limiting reactant is used up
• Chemical reactions never stop

You need 2 pieces of bread, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of starwberry jelly to make a sandwich. If you have 10 pieces of bread, 4 tablespoons of peanut butter and 15 tablespoons of jelly, what is the limiting reactant?

• bread

• strawberry jelly

• peanut butter

1 Body + 4 Tires → 1 Car

How many cars can you make with 92 tires and 34 bodies?

• 23

• 34

• 68

• 46

This is what you call a reactant that you have enough of. The one that DOES NOT run out.

• Limiting Reactant

• Excess Reactant

• Highly Reactant

• Super Reactant
